It actually does cause/spread resistance. Look at it this way, the slow-kill method kills the babies but not the adults, right? The adults can live for several years inside a dog before they die. So let's say the adults have 100 babies and the preventative kills all except 2 that happen to be...

I recently went to a conference about this topic. I live in the Mississippi River Valley and heartworm resistance is very real here. Here's an article about it: http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=818797 This one is a little easier to read...

I have the Seresto collar for my Border Collie and I love it. I've never used flea/tick preventatives in the past, but ticks have been awful this year. Haven't seen a single one on him since I put it on. It is waterproof and I never take it off.

Thanks everyone for reading! Lizmo, I found these breeders mostly through the ABCA and AKA referral list and google searches. I would definitely prefer a working BC breeder, but I'm having trouble finding many nearby. I plan to go to an upcoming sheep trial hosted by the Mid-south Stock...
